First, they're reporting on a petition that has been signed by 15 - woah there, huge social movement. Second, the implication is that hipsters live in Brooklyn, and I don't think 'hipster' is a term that has accurately described the average Wilco fan since 2005. Finally, hip-hop has been more hipster than Wilco has for about a decade.

That's code for music made by black people.

What's funny is that the writer is doing exactly what the Park Slopers are doing- associating a type of music with a race and associating that race with a type of behavior and attitude.

 

Indie music and Hip Hop don't hate each other. People hate people. The petition doesn't have to do with music, it has to do with racism. I think the writer could have delved A LOT deeper into the racism/gentrification aspect of it all. The music is just a scapegoated stand-in for what really should have been said.
